Try the following link for U.S. searches. It has a state-by-state and county-by-county listing of public record information. Some states are better than others and some counties are better than others but it has been very helpful.

For deceased lost sheep , try:
http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi
and
http://www.worldvitalrecords.com/indexi ... ECSSDITEXT

(The first is the better of the two but it still is missing some names)

This was a very old thread that you just reactivated, but thanks for the links. A much more complete list of possibilities is found in the wiki under Locating Members. I did add to the article your first link, which was not there before.

One way to test search capabilities is to let the engine search for your own name, and/or people you know well. This helps with understanding capacity and accuracy. I tested zabasearch and it found me, my address, and phone number, but my birth year is off by one. I'm bookmarking this for future use, if I can remember to look for the bookmark.
